Hey Studio, As I have often pointed out, therein lies the distinction between conservatives, and liberals. Conservatives believe the Constitution to be the law of the land, and interpret the Constitution literally. They believe that the Constitution is "Black & White"; there is no grey area.
On the other hand, Liberals pick and choose portions of the Constitution that is convenient for them to adhere to. They believe that the Constitution is some kind of, "Living, breathing" document. Conservatives like me believe that the Constitution was divinely inspired. You and folks like you consider it to be just a piece of paper, until your unalienable rights are trampled upon, and then, you are the first to run seeking the protection from government agents or agencies, under the guise of the Constitution. The City of Los Angeles' boycott of another State is nothing less than a Letter of Reprisal. It would be the same in principal, if the City of Los Angeles "boycotted", or "banned" Arizona products, such as produce, (I don't know what the Hell Arizona produces of manufactures) but a City or another State cannot "ban" or boycott products from another State!! It's that plain and simple!!
